The Blog, The Press, The Media: 2006 Australian Blog Awards - Nominees
It's almost time to vote... I say almost as Vlado still has to setup the ballot papers for a few of the cateogries. Until these are ready you may want to start checking out what is on offer at the nominees sites and form an informed opinion before you cast your votes.
Individual Apathy - tim blair: Could you please indicate that I decline to be nominated? Or, if it would look less messy, just remove mention of my site. Much thanks.
Fearless Vlado: Enough with the declining nominations! There awards are the people saying what their favourite blogs are… it’s not a spot on a board or council.
If a newspaper ran a poll on peoples favourite movie, George Lucas can’t tell them to not count Star Wars. Can he?! No.
